The literary masterpieces of Nikos Kazantzakis (Captain Michalis, The Rock Garden, Zorba the Greek) are a testament to the anguish of his proud spirit, from his deepest life experiences, the heat of emotion, the world's blinding phantasmagoria, to his extreme decisions and his reflection on man's destiny.
